Transfer Box Oil Change

[MattR]

Anyone know where the filler is for the transfer box. I looked all over last time I did the diffs, but I couldnt find the filler.

you will need to fill it via the atf dipstick tube

[biosurf]

I always use the centre pages of magazine (fnarr) rolled into a very thin funnel held together with duct tape. As long as you make the end skinny enough to jam in the dipstick tube it works quite well

[MattR]

Thats for the gearbox surely? Im after the transfer box. But after haveing a better look under there tonight I think I found it. Do you fill it till it comes out of the hole?

[stormforce]

Sorry my mistake.That'll teach me to read properly then

Fill it through the level plug 'til it overflows. I have used a big syringe device which put about 250ml in at a go.
Cheers,

i've done the diffs and atf but never done the trans oil before.what oil did you use for the trans box

[MattR]

Theres a PDF you can download at the roughtrax web site that gives all the oils. Cant remember what I used but it was what the PDF stated. To do both diffs and the transfer box you need 3 different oils.

Anyone know what the difference between hypoid and normal oil is?

[steved]

Hypoid oil is for high pressure use you will need some 75/90w for the transfer box.
